  • - new enough, long enough, qpq done, hook looks good. inline citations checks out. overall good article. good to go.BabbaQ (talk) 23:37, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but it doesn't seem hooky; it's more in-universe, just telling me the content of the song. Can you suggest another hook? Yoninah (talk) 22:28, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
I would like to tell the content because it's very unusual content. Awareness of one's own empty hands has little glamour. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:06, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
I agree with Yoninah. I also don't think that a broad audience would know that such a thing is unusual, especially because the hook doesn't mention it. To move this along, does anyone have an alternative hook? @Yoninah: @Gerda Arendt: SL93 (talk) 17:25, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
I wouldn't fight it, but believe that the precise imagery of empty hands and God being one's breath are unusual without saying that they unusual, while "insecurity and questions" are more general, so not as colourful. Our often cited "general reader" may also misunderstand "bar" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:11, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
It's linked. Yoninah (talk) 21:26, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
I argued that Irmgard Seefried and Peter Schreier were linked, remember? - Did it help? - It's all a minor point, the key being that "empty hands" is a more precise image than a pale "insecure". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:33, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

I don't think this WordPress blog is reliable. SL93 (talk) 06:32, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

I moved it to external links. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:45, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
  • I'm approving Yoninah's ALT1. SL93 (talk) 22:16, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
